🎯 How Flyability is Calculated
The Flyability Score is a comprehensive 0-100 point assessment that analyzes current weather conditions against site-specific requirements to provide instant GO/NO-GO decisions.
📊 Scoring Breakdown
💨 Wind Speed (40 points)
Coastal Sites:
- 40 pts: 10-18 kts (optimal)
- 30 pts: 8-22 kts (acceptable)
- 20 pts: Marginal conditions
- 10 pts: Too light (<8 kts)
- 0 pts: Unsafe (>25 kts)
Inland/Mountain Sites:
- 40 pts: 5-12 kts (optimal)
- 30 pts: 3-18 kts (acceptable)
- 15 pts: Light winds (<3 kts)
- 0 pts: Unsafe (>22 kts)
🧭 Wind Direction (30 points)
- 30 pts: Wind from favorable direction for site
- 15 pts: Direction data unavailable
- 5 pts: Wind from wrong direction
Checked against site's acceptable wind directions (e.g., N, NE, E for east-facing ridge)
💨 Wind Gusts (15 points)
- 15 pts: Low turbulence (≤5 kt gust difference)
- 10 pts: Moderate gusting (6-10 kt difference)
- 0 pts: Strong gusting (>10 kt difference)
Large difference between wind speed and gusts indicates turbulent conditions
👁️ Visibility (10 points)
- 10 pts: Excellent (≥10 km)
- 7 pts: Good (5-10 km)
- 3 pts: Reduced (<5 km)
☁️ Cloud Cover (5 points)
- 5 pts: Clear/few clouds (≤30%)
- 3 pts: Partly cloudy (31-70%)
- 1 pt: Overcast (>70%)
🚦 Traffic Light Interpretation
Ideal flying conditions for this site
Good conditions, suitable for flying
Marginal conditions - experienced pilots only, proceed with caution
Unsafe conditions - do not fly
⚠️ Important: This score is a guide only. Always verify current conditions, check SAFA updates, assess local weather, and follow your training. Never rely solely on automated systems for flight decisions.
